Well, the current patch for the Makefile regarding StackGuard is to turn
StackGuard off while compiling the kernel. :) The kernel is not
StackGuarded and should not be StackGuarded. (It is the sort of thing
that ought to be carefully coded to avoid situations where StackGuard
would help. :)

(Never mind that the implementation of StackGuard prevents StackGuarding
the kernel anyway. StackGuard is only for userland applications. :)
